Ignominious Incarceration - Of Winter Born (2009)

Ripping from Bath, UK; Ignominious Incarceration pack a lot of styles into their version of Death Metal. They are well equipped with many various styles of metal that it can be hard to just put them in a single genre and throw them in the dirt. They keep the tempo flowing perfectly with mixes of thrash, brutal death, and a few breakdowns to rip shit up. I just threw a few bands to what they somewhat sound like but it is up to you on how to think of them. For myself, I put them in the same category as Benighted; death, grind, and fucking brutal. Download and enjoy.

Head Wound City - Self Titled (2005)

A righteous genre buggering from the combined pricks of JORDON BLILIE & CODY VOTOLATO (BLOOD BROTHERS), GABE SERBIAN & JUSTIN PEARSON (THE LOCUST), and NICK ZINNER (YEAH YEAH YEAHS). Like fingernails singing on a chalkboard the band gives it and gives it all. "It's kinda like if Alien and Predator started a band instead of fighting each other."-Jordon Blilie.
